Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Kind and compassionate
Dr Loretan cared for a family member for over 25 years. Has helped her in so many ways, including I adjusting the medication given at the hospital, so it worked well for her. The appointments were timely. He was friendly, understanding and compassionate

Dr. Loretan is unprofessional as he examines you. He pulled up my shirt from the front to listen to my heart without consent or warning. Additionally, he was in the room as I was getting in position for an injection in my SI joint from pain. He grabbed my pants and pulled them down. I felt violated. He didn't ask if I needed or wanted help.
